King leads Conference Carolinas Presidential Honor Roll members

Jun 03, 2013

BRISTOL, Tenn. – Conference Carolinas
announced their Spring Presidential Honor Roll on Monday, and King
University led the league with 209 members. As a conference, 1,713
student-athletes earned this honor which requires student-athletes
to achieve at least a 3.2 grade point average.

King’s 209 members on the team edged Limestone College and
Queens University who had 203 and 178 members, respectively. The
Conference Carolinas Presidential Honor Roll is awarded twice a
year covering each of the fall and spring academic semesters and is
based on meeting the criteria at the end of the previous
semester.

Conference Carolinas continues to emphasize “Academics and
Athletics Working Together” as each school strives to grow
their Presidential Honor Roll each and every year. The Presidential
Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes who have earned a 3.2 grade
point average (up from 3.0 in previous years) on a 4.0 scale for
the semester and includes freshman and transfer student athletes
(that have participated in either a conference or non-conference
sponsored sport).

The Tornado baseball team led the way with 21 members while
women’s soccer had 17 and women’s track and field
rounded out the top three with 15 members.
